Whole-Home Water Filtration For Harbor Springs, Charlevoix, Petoskey and more!
MacGregor is your one stop source for whole-home water treatment. From hard water to organic and inorganic contamination, we have the solution for cleaner, better tasting water.
Water contamination can vary greatly based on your location and the source of your water. If your home has a well, it may be more susceptible to contamination from agriculture run-off and other environmental pollution. While a water test is needed to determine if your drinking water has unhealthy levels of contamination, there are a few symptoms of poor quality water:
- Smells – chlorine, mildew, rotten egg (sulfur)
- Taste – metallic, salty, acidic
- Appearance – red-brown color, cloudy
- Blackening and pitting of steel sinks
Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment
A reverse osmosis water filtration system delivers fresh, clean, great tasting water throughout your home. Reverse osmosis works by forcing water through an ultra-thin, semi-permeable membrane. Microscopic particles and contaminants are then flushed away, leaving water cleaner and more pure.
The Benefits of Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis effectively reduces contaminants including lead, arsenic, copper nitrates, chromium, selenium, fluoride, radium, barium, cryptosporidium and more.
